Today in the Lowdown at DNJournal.com: Updates on Wednesday's DOMAINfest in New York, a new online auction at GreatDomains, information on the annual .Info Awards Contest (with $15,500 in prize money up for grabs) and a note on Morgan Linton's new video interview with Ray Neu.

While covering the launch of the Candy.com website after the purchase of the domain name, I wrote about things that I felt needed improvements and one of those was the all important blog area of the site. I talked about it several times but I will quote myself from the June 7, 2009 posting that
I was? speaking with a friend at DomainFest yesterday afternoon, and he had just learned a few of his domain names were stolen from his Moniker account.

I've been away for a couple of days and the email backs up. Early this evening I got an email asking me to confirm that I was leaving the "social" scene.

By Bernard Golden at CIO.comThe tech world is all a-twitter (literally!) about an article in this month's Wired Magazine which announces "The Web Is Dead. Long Live the Internet".
